Hadron Therapy Driven by Multi-Terawatt Laser

At present time proton and carbon ion beams from conventional accelerators are used in medicine to eradicate tumor by a method called hadron therapy. Recently it was shown that multi-terawatt laser interacting with thin foils produces multi-MeV ion beam which is suitable for hadron therapy. The repl...
